We joined Twitter back in April 2009 and in that time we have been tweeting, retweeting, sharing and liking many posts and updates, as well as making sure we connect with our customers and the wider property industry.

This month, we spotted we had reached the milestone of having 4,000 followers on Twitter, which works out to an average of 666 followers joining us every year… how devilishly good!

To mark the occasion, we asked followers to retweet a message and, for those that did, we would pick five at random to win the prize of a giant Millies cookie. The winners have been duly picked, announced and prizes sent – and dare I say, cookies already devoured!

Well done to our winners:

Stronachs

Victor Michael

McCartneys

Conveyancing Data Services

Pygott & Crone

Thanks for entering our little draw and, of course, a wider ‘thank you’ needs to go out to everyone: all 4,000 (well, 4,028 now to be precise!) for keeping in touch with us on our social networks! Top tweeting!

We are pleased to share a 'good news' update from our parent company, Landmark Information Group:

"It might well be raining and rather autumnal outside, but here in the offices of Landmark we are all celebrating the fact that we have been shortlisted for the annual Negotiator Awards, which are taking place in November!

Our entry has reached the shortlist for the ‘Supplier of the Year – Technology’ category. It’s particularly pleasing as it is an entry that collectively takes in to account a number of services that we have specifically designed to support estate agents with their day-to-day business.

This includes our Metropix service, which is the UK’s leading floor plan tool for residential agents, our GoView digital mapping service and our Mouseprice service that provides detailed property market valuation data to estate agents.

It doesn’t stop there; we also provide software to the Domestic Energy Assessor market to help them complete and submit EPCs, as well as provide search reports that are widely used in the conveyancing process.

We are extremely proud of our end-to-end service that supports a number of the key touchpoints related to the lifecycle of a piece of land or property.

All in all, the company’s success has been founded on creating new and innovative information and data services by combining a variety of geographical, property and environmental data, and so to be recognised on the shortlist of the Negotiator awards makes an autumnal day that much brighter!"

Congratulations to Richard at Michael Poole Agents in Teeside who won last month’s ‘Who Would Live In A House Like This?’ contest. Richard correctly guessed that the famous floorplan we had drawn depicted TV’s ‘Downton Abbey’.

Entries for the September competition close on 30 September – good luck!

Entry to the prestigious 2015 Estate Agency of the Year Awards, in association with The Sunday Times and The Times is open. With just one month left to enter, we are encouraging clients to showcase your agency to the expert panel of judges, who are overseen by The Property Ombudsman. They are looking to shine a light on those agencies that represent the very ‘best of the best’ in our industry.

As a proud sponsor of this prestigious event, we are delighted to work with and support those agencies who want to shout about their successes and the role they play in raising the profile of our industry.

By entering, and perhaps winning one of these coveted awards, you can highlight that you actively embrace best practice and high standards, which we all know mean a great deal to the public.

Don’t forget, you must register your entry by the 30th September 2015 for a chance to win. You’re not limited to categories – you can enter as many as you like in fact. An online video containing top tips for your submission is available, plus there is a handy FAQ section and a Judges’ Report from last year; all of which are designed to help your entry be the best it can be. To register and see the full selection of categories, visit www.estateagencyevents.com.
